Titled *The lovers quarrel*, this hand-colored lithograph was published in New York by N. Currier around 1846, about a decade before he took on James Merritt Ives as partner and the firm became Currier & Ives. Currier's shop produced inexpensive pictures of courtship, family and country life for a growing middle-class market, and sentimental scenes of romance like this one were among its most popular subjects. Prints of this kind were colored by hand, often in small runs, so surviving copies can differ noticeably in tint. The Gale Research catalog raisonné lists it as number 4131, which places it among the firm's documented early works.
